Last year’s Glastonbury was headlined by Arcade Fire, Kasabian and Metallica. As for this year, organiser Michael Eavis has hinted that a huge US band who have never played the festival before are in talks, leading many to suspect Fleetwood Mac.
Singer Stevie Nicks has also confirmed that Glastonbury is “being discussed” ahead of promised UK gigs next spring.
Eavis has discounted Prince as a headliner and said that he already has three bands booked to top the bill next year. Let the speculation begin.
